I was concerned that they might be caught in nets as they were surprisingly static. Neither seemed distressed, and I was able to see their full bodies at one point and no evidence of trouble. They appeared healthy, and as curious about my presence as I was at theirs. At no point did I do anything to disturb them other than watch. They appeared very calm just surfacing and bobbing and watching. They were still there after I left.
